Rule 1: learn to love yourself Everything else will come after you achieve this. Personally as a 20M with a mild stutter (was worst when I was younger) all I've gotta say is; learn to love yourself and not worry so much about the little things like your stutter. Yes it is annoying and can sometimes make you lose out on things but the upside about it is also that it helps you get to see what people really think of you and who will genuinely go out of their way for you or accept you. I, myself, have dated, very few, but nonetheless when I click with someone and we understand each other, my stutter is the last thing on my mind. Your stutter doesn't define you as a person so don't focus too much on it and instead get out there, find your happiness, enjoy it. Don't let your stutter control your life, look at you, health profession, no idea what aspect of health profession, but nevertheless you, a PWS, chose a career path that involves communicating, so hats off for that. Likewise the same with dating, don't let it hold you back. Dating is a trial and error game, just cause one failed doesn't mean they all fail or are going to. So once again, repeating myself, go do what you want, love yourself, if they can't accept that part of you then they were never going to be a good match anyways.
